Re: Rediscovering the world's largest cormorant ...
Beautiful plumage. It’s a fascinating article, thanks for posting it. Incidentally, it’s not extinct, merely pinin’ for the fjords. My understanding is that there is a breeding colony of them, descended from Genghis Khan’s flock, still living in a secret location not unadjacent to Ulan Bator, and everyone who buys one of the new Pentax film cameras will receive a free Spectacled* Cormorant**. * Pentax glass only ** while stocks last > On 21 Mar 2024, at 18:04, John Sessoms wrote: > > https://phys.org/news/2024-03-rediscovering-world-largest-cormorant.html > > -- > Vivere in aeternum aut mori conatur > > -- > This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. > www.avg.com > -- > %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List > To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO: A strange looking bird
Interesting indeed. Darters are unknown species in our area. About sharpness: with most Pentax camera's I think there is only one acceptable setting for wild life that is AF-S with spot AF aiming for the eyes while saying a little prayer .

Re: PESO: Grey Heron
Funny, all the unsolicited reels offered to me on instagram are about cats and dogs which are so cosy with each other, as well as wild animals befriended with people. My late dog was always ready to fight with cats, wheras animals in our local nature usually do not appreciate my presence.
